[944 fanatic]

Hey there guys, as you can see from my screen name, I'm a 944 guy. I have to say I've always dug the 914 and said that if one should present itself to me, I would consider picking it up.
Well, one presented itself to me.
The car is free (1970 914) if I tow it away. It does not run right now, but I think with some TLC and a large amount of wrench turning, I could get it to work...
What are your thoughts on this? I know all about the '44, but practically nothing of worth about the '14...
It's got a little rust (really not that bad for a somewhat neglected 914) and the battery tray has leaked onto the suspension mount.
I wouldn't be looking for a perfect example anyway, so maybe starting from scratch with a free car is the way to go...A ground up resto doesn't really scare me too much as I wouldn't be on any kind of timeline and this car would just be a project to work on. I'm selling one of the 944's and the other might gte lonely, so I figured, hey, free 914, what the heck?!
Am I foolish to think I can do this? Really I think I just need a good solid push and I'll jump right in....anyone?
Just for my info, what does a decent 914 engine go for? I would want a 2.0..
Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
